SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUTOTALG. A Meeting was held at Nottingham on Tuesday last, and a Petition voted to Parliament for the aboli tion of the restrictions on the introduction of foreign corn. Numerous signatures were immediately affixed to the Petition. It is difficult to write or to conceive any thing new upon the Corn Laws. The petitioners from Nottingham can only express, therefore, in ardent language, as under the immediate pressure of dis tress, resulting in no small degree from tho prohibi tion of foreign grain, that which the most disinte-• rested politician would f ee l, a f ter th e most de?erate • . inquiry, on the same sulect. The pekfioners state the prohibitive sy s t em t o be suhverlve of the trade and manufactures—of the mor'!. ) ,s and comforts of the people : in those allegation'', there is more of philoso phic truth than the ato!nors may have been aware of: individuals may sty:iggle, and sometimes with success ful eflbrt, again - A the demoralizing effect of poverty ; but whatever, s i n k s th e great body of a people into want, sildf.s them almost simultaneously into vice, and B ttini9P.ently into barbarism. We trust that, by per ttever.ng efforts, our Corn Laws will be placed on that forting which Nature and Providence intended ; that ' That - which is produced freely in all countries, should, like the air, be allowed to circulate freely' in all coun tries ; and that only those products which Are appro priated to particular soils and climates, should be sub jected to imposts on their introduction into other regions where they constitute luxuries.—Tinies. We wonder what the Prime Minister of England, who enjoys the lu cra ti ve an d no t ver y t ro ubl esome of of Lord Warden of the Cinque-Ports, says to the disclosures which took place at Bow-street a few days since, as to the state of the prisons and the magistracy in that quarter.. We should have supposed that, by the aid both of a military and naval force—to say no thing of the moral influence of the Bible and other re ligious Societies, which his Lordship and his col league, Lord Bexley, with so much zeal support—. even the crime of smuggling would have been done away with on the Kentish coast, and that, at all events, we should not have to record a savage ran matte of armed men under the very nose of the Lord Warden himself, near Widmer Castle, This, how ever, is only one of the natural effems of high taxation, a nd shows, we fear, how fittile mid unavailing all at , tempts are`to put an cud to any traffic to which inor dinate profits are attached. But the inadequacy of the Magistrates and of the prisons to deal with the of fences, or to confine the offenders, is quite another question, and deserves, we should imagine, the ear nest attention not only of the Prime Minister himself, but of the whole Government and Legislature, On the occasion we allude to, it was broadly stated that "an officer could reldont get his warrants against smugglers backed by the Magistrates of the Cinque- Ports,. and that "the reason he gives is, that the greater part of the Magistrates, are smugglers them selves; and that " there was no gaol on the coast of Kent where they would be safe ; every one of them, from one end of the coast to the other, having, in its turn, been pulled down by men of this descrip tion, when any of their comrades were confined in them ; arid . that " the gaol at Dover, about five years agO, was broken open at mid-day by the smugglers, isle) took thirteen of their companions out in triumph, the Magistrates looking on all the time." This is a state of society which the public I at large were probably as little prepared to hear of as ourselves. It is, in fact, almost revolutionary,.. implying, as far as it goes., an utter la.lbverston of all , constituted authority. We should, we confess, in pure simplkity, have imagined, that had the knoWledge of such a state of things existed but for a inotnent, the necessary steps would have been taken to bring to condign punishment, and to rid the country of such Magistrates, and to put an end to such a state of things, utterly disgraceful to a civilized country ; y e t, as far as we understand the matter, this evil continues unredressed up to this hour, and the different natives of France visiting this country, as well as our own countrymen visiting France, arc left to report that our much-boasted laws, and our im mense naval and military force, are incapable of prevent ing a handful of daring dealers in contraband cognac and geneva setting the Government at defiance, under the very walls of one of its garrisoned fortresses. That the corrupt Magistrates alluded to should not only • escape punishment, but continue to possess power, is still more astonishing. Who appoints or removes these Cinqu e P or t s Magistrates we have yet to learn ; but when we hear of the Court of King's Bench being continually called upon to punish other. Magistrates, Whose offences are as nothing compared to these, we are curious to know what power there is behind the curtain which protects these b "rester delinquents from the punishment they so highly merit. What earthly use there is in these Cinque Ports, and their Warden, ur their Magistrates, we could never imagine. We think the great Officers of. the State might be better provided f or th an b y appo i ntments so evidently useless as this Lord Wardenship appears to be. A more ho nourable and respectable man than its present possessor, in . all probability, never held it ; but to talk of War dens and Magistrates, of troops, of sailors, and of constables, while the law is openly set at defiance, and the King's gaols broken open and torn down by a law less banditti, in a state of society which 'cannot, and ought not, to be tolerated, and which it is high time, if there is any thing like lawful power and authority in the country, were immediately put an end to. We Will only add, that Cinque Port and Borough justices are part of the blessed effects of the Cinque Port and borough system. Surely these things are rotten enough in other respects, without the Magistracy be ing polluted by this kind of contagion. What a mi serable spectacle it is to see sonic low, vulgar cheese monger or grocer, because he becomes the Mayor or BMW- Of some corrupt, time.serving Corporation, armed with powers to d ea l w i t h t h e lives and liberties of the King a subjects! Surely it is enough that those places should make legislators by wholeside, w ith o ut entailing , upon the count r y . t h e a ddi t io nal curse of seeing the laws vi o l ate d, or openly set at defi ance, by persons who are every waywbolly unfit to he intrusted with the execution of thein.Moening Herald. To out utter amazement , we observe, th a t Mr. Hume attended, yester d ay , a G enera l M eeting of the Subscribers of the London University, held at m e Crown arid Anchor Tavern, in the Strand. w e say to our utter amazement ; for we co uld not hav e aup. posed that even Mr. Hume, with all his " nerve," as the Morning Chronicle calls it, had so much intrepidily, as to remain silent under such charges as have been preferred against him, respecting the Greek Loan, being in the metropolis, and, therefore, no stranger to their existence. 'We concluded, as a mat ter of course, that he was sojourning in the northern most part of Scotland, and so made fair allowances for the time that would be requisite ere he could know how slanderously his fair, name had been assailed. But; ,bere be is in tohaoh, siva not a Word ! Does he think becan set public 'opinion at defiance-, he, who is the creature of that opinion —he, who owes all the little popidatity that clin_gs to him, to that source, and to that alone? M r . Hume is a tthi dern patribt--it persevering Reformer, of what he considers abuses in the Stat‘t; , -an unsparing censor of the supposed delltiijoencies of others. It is im possible he eltki be guilty of the : paltry conduct ini4 puted him. With all his love f or pon n a s , shil -1-I.P.gs, and pence, where the interests of the people are concerned, we do tibt, we cannot, believe that, in . his private dealings, he W ou ld comprom i se hi s character in the way that has been represented. It must be a calumny ; a gross and most injurious ca lumny. We know there is sometimes a sort of lofty pride, born of conscious innocence, which disdains to repel a degrading accusation. Mr. flume, we doubt not, feels this ; but he should remember, that a public Man cannot defy the public. Meanness, avarice, a sordid lust of gain, and the base sacrifice of a cause which he professes to serve, are east in his teeth ; of course, he can disprove it all, and spew that, when he spoke of his-principles, he was not thinking of his pocket. We call upon him to do so. It is not be batise we, who know his character, are Satisfied as to the purity of his conduct, or that others, like ourselves, estimate him rightly, that he shonld wrap himself up in the silent consciousness of his own integrity.— Them are those, as he must know, who will gladly be lieve the fOul calumny ; and it will stagger even our confidence in him, it we find he shrinks from that vindication which it must be in his power to give.— As to Mr. Bowling, what shall we say of him ? With the full knowledge of the, several transactions which have come tet light lurking in his mind, he had the effrontery, most recently, to make himself the in- vestigator of the misdeeds of 'others, and to insult the Livery of London, in the capacity of " a young mer chant,'' by presenting him Self before them in order to traduce men, who (thanks be to Heaven !) cannot conceive the sort of understanding, and the sort of low cunning, which he accounts cleverness and wisdom,— New Times. CARLOW QUARTER SESSIONS. THE GAME LAWS. The following case appeared to excite a stronk interest, being a prosecution under the Game Laws. John Watson, of Ballydarton, Esq. was examined and stated that he recollected Thursday the sth October, wlsen he. saw Syl vester Shaughnessy, in the fields near Garryhill ; he, Shaughnessy, had two dogs with him; they were beating about; one of them appeared to be a pointer, the o th er a s p an i e l ; h e had also a gun and shot pouch ; there was another man with him who also had a gun ; they were in a bOg and beating about among rushes ; can not say,that it was a rabbit burrow ; and thinks they were in pursuit of game. - Mr. 1114fatION,—I ask you, Sir, Ms either of thorn a spaniel? Mr. Wa Tsorr.—One of them appeared to be a spaniel—a setting Q.—l may appear to'be a setting dog.—(Laughter.)-Ll'll make a dead set at you—(Laughter)—and perhaps catch the whole covey before you get offthetable.—(Laughter.)--I again ask you, Sir, to state what colour they were, and whether yon will sw ear that they were spaniels or pointers ? A.—One of them was red and the other white—they bad all the appearance of a pointer and spaniel. Q.—Perhaps, Sir, as you can only speak to appearances, you'd be kind enough to state how many legs they appeared to have. —Great laughter.—lam surprised, Sir, to see such a want of de termination in you—one of the greatest sportsmen in the county -.-. but perhaps you were poaching yourself--.(Continued laughter.) I again ask you, Sir, will you undertake to swear positively that they were sporting dogs and in the pursuit of game ? You era prosecuting under a Penal statute, and it is my duty to see that my client be not convicted by illegal evidence. Mr. WaTatat,—They were ranging iihs spaniels. The BARIVISTVO, stated to Mr. Watson that Mr. Armatum was perfectly right in his last observation—the statute being a Penal one, the evidence to establish a conviction, must be positive. BARIMT, (for the prosecution) to 14/.. Watson—To the best of your recollection, Sir— Mr. M'MAnow, to Mr. Barret, quite in a passion at the in terruption—" You had better hold your prate."—(lmmense laughter.) To Mr. Watson-.. 1 again ask you, Sir, will you take upon you to swear they were sporting doge, kept for the destruc tion, and then in the pursuit of game? Or, Sir, will you swear positively, that one of them was Jug Miss Dillon's lap-dog— (laughter) —.or, " That in that town, a dot was found, As many dogs there he, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp, and hound, And curs of low degree ?', Mr. WaTsow—No answer. Q. Did you prosecute Redmond for the same offence ? A. Yes. Mr. Banarr contended, that as the indictment against Red mond was not before the Court, Mr. M'Mahon had no right to go into both indictments. Air. lki'MAttort insisted on his right, m the informstion in cluded Redmond. The BA RAMER thought there was not sufficient information to warrant a conviction. He would, however, put the question in the spirit of the Act of Parliament. Pray, Mr. Watson, from what you saw, can you make up your mind to say positively that the dogs were fit for the destruction of game ? Mr. Warsoti—l ran. I have no doubt but they were then used for the finding of game. 'Mr. Banarr--I ani certain that those dogs were never used when shooting rabbits ? Mr. M'Manox—(guite in a rage)—to Mr. Barret--Why, what do you know about shooting ? Sure you never could be a sportsman—you'd frighten half the game in the parish—(im:nem laughter)—but I was, and kept some of the best dogs of the day—(turning to some person near him)-.-did I not?—(Conti nued laughing).—Your w ors hip, I'll now b rea k new groun d , and contend that the information is bad, as it duos not specify where the offence was committed—and, should I fail in that, l'll con clude that the present Bench is incompetent to try the question at all. Colonel Rocurorr said that be apprehended that Gentlemen were wasting much of the public time. Mr. BA RANT prayed a conviction—penalty 201. Mr. AIWA fibs appealed.— Carlow Post. DESTRUCTION OF WORMS AND SLUGS ' &e.— In compliance with the request ofiVir. M'Dougal,we ac compamed him during the forenoon of Tuesday last, to a grass plot in Clyde -street, and there had an opportunity of witnessing his complete success. The plot of ground which Mr. M‘Dougal selected for showing his expe riment, was full of holes, and little grass was growing upon it, in consequence of the destructive vermin with which it was infested. Mr. M'Dougal, in the first place, brought : an incredible number of worms to. the surface, almost immediately after the ground was watered with his solution, and then poured upon them a stronger solution, which killed them shortly after.-- He thus showed distinctly the efficacy of his solution in destr o ying the worms. He next poured the stron ger solution on another piece of ground which stroyed the worms in the ground without bringing them out o f th e i r h o l es . W e h ave no hesitation in recommending Mr. Nl'Dougal's recipe as the most eflicaciou s means o f d est roying thisspecies of vermin. / 3 owling greens may thus be rendered , and continue after they are rolled, as smooth as a carpet.

LAW INTELLIGENCt. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Aliztraims - m, OCT. SO. WILLIAMS V. TOMLINSON AND OTHERS. This was an action accruing out of One of the late joint stuck speculations. The plaintiff's statement was, that Messrs. Tomlinson, Bennett, and , Cooper, attornies, of Copthall-court, had, in the last year, projected a company for the cultivation of flax in Ireland. To advertise this company, and forward 'its views, they employed him (tlie plaintiff), who was also an attorney in Dublin. Eventually, the " Hibernian Hemp and Flax Company," like many other speculations, was found to be-a losing concern to the shareholders, and dissolved; hut the plaintiff's bill and expences, amounting to 4001., the defendants resisted, and denied their lia bility for. The LORD CHIEF . JUSTICE strong recommended an ad justment. It was eventually agreed to submit both the questions, amount and liability, to a gentleman at the bar. DRENNAN AM) ANOTHER V. STEVENS. This was an action against the defendant, John Stevens, for a fraud, in having sold the trade of a public-house, called the " King and Queen," in Oxford-road, to the plaintiffs, Michael Brennan and William Egerton, under circumstances of misrepresentation, and at a price much above its value. Mr. SCARLET; who opened the case, said that Mr. Stevens was not a new hand at transactions of this de sciiption ; and that, by 11 singular coincidence, it was a similar case of his own, formerly tried in the Court of King's Bench, which would give the rule of law against him in the present instance. The representation of Mr. Stevens had been that the receipts of the house were 300/. a month ; and the sum paid by the plaintiffs was 3,0001. ; being '7OOl. for the stock and fixtures, and 2,350/. for the trade and good-will. The plaintiffs then, on going into the trade, kept a regular account of their receipts, which began at 401. R week, and averaged 150/. a month through the year. This was only half the amount of re ceipt at which the defendant had sold the house ; and the law declared, that for such a misrepresentation, the party who made it should be liable. Mr. MnILLIAMS, for the defendant, contended that his client's representations bad been sufficiently near the fact for all fair purposei. The plaintiff had gone to work with the aid of a regular broker. He had been furnished with the names of the traders who had supplied the public house, and he had actually made inquiries of the distiller. He might have seen the " pass-books" of the business, if he had thought fit to have done so; and if he had not suf ficiently satisfied himself before he made the bargain, the fault was his own neglect. The Jury, after an hour's consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 2001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE—J. Lindsey, the man who ryas found standing at about four o'clock on Friday morning, with a large carving knife, waiting to slay his wife, or her supposed paramour, who he believed were in a house of a certain description, was brought up again for examination. • The wife now appeared, and prayed that her husband might be liberated, because she said he had suffered enough for his folly in being confined and laughed at, as she owned he deserved to be. The fact was, that she had had some words with her husband, and had, " out of aggravation," determined to go to the Coburg.Theetre with a friend and one of her relations. Being determined to punish her husband for his misconduct, Ole got into the house un observed on her return from the theatre, and went silently to the bed-room of her son, *here she slept in a vacant bed until morning. The tom) Maron, looking at the wife, who was evidently be tween 40 and 50, and though she retained her vivacity,, is wrinkled, and has lost most oilier teeth, agreed that it was very silly for hint to be jealous? His Lordship asked the husband if he was satisfied with his wife' statement. The husband rather reluctantly admitted that he happened to be in the wrong new, but he declared that his wife's conduct-nu a cornier occasion, when she left him, justified his enspieions in the present instauce. The Loan MAYOR—Nouheme ; nothing can be more ridiculous than for you, who have grown up children by your wife, to en tertain such suspicious. floes she wake your homa comfortable? -The Itusharick,...Vve, slue woke* soy bornotiornfortable enough, except when she nags rao now and then. The Loan Afavoa—ls taw attentive to ber children, and dill.. gent in her other domestic duties? The Husband--I have nothing to say against her in that respect. The Loan' Ma reitThen you may depend upon it you have no ground to say any thing against her. I discharge you : go, and do not make yourself miserable in your comfortable home with unfounded suspicions. The ease war then dismissed, the knife, at the wife's sugges tion, being retained in the custody of the officer. MARI.BOROUCM-STREET.—Yesterday at Young woman, named Strtet, was brought before T. A. Rot, Esq., the sitting Magistrate, charged with having assaulted her husband in such a desperate manner es to endinger his life. A certificate from the house-surgeon of Middleiex liospital was here produced describing the man to be in a dangerous state. The patrol here produced P. pewter quart pot, with which the blow had evidently been given, es there was a portion of human hair and blood sticking to the bottom of it. The prisoner said nothing in explanation of the charge against her. She was accordingly committed to prison. WORSHIP-STREET.—Yesterday four Irish labourers named James Hayes, Patrick Hayes, William :Duggan, and Thomas Collins, Were brim& before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. MY FORD, upon a charge, of which tl4 following is a brief narrative: On the preceding evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the inhabitants of Kingsland-road and Shoreditch were thrown into the greatest consternation by a fight taking place, in which a few Irish labourers residing in that neighbourhood were a party. The real cause of dispute had its origin in the Dun Horse public home ; and on its commencement the landlord very properly sent for the parish constables, when Geo. Smith and Win. Hall, as sisted by James Shepherd, a Bow-street patrol, succeeded in lodg ing the prisoners in the watchhouse. During their absence, one of the most desperate and determined of the party, named Michael Sullivan, effected his escape into Red Lion-court, a dj o i n i ng t h e I)un Horse, to which place he was pursued by a young man named Thomas Evans, upon whom Sullivan drew a large clasp knife, and inflicted a dangerous wound on the, ; and in a struggle to obtain the knife received a severe wound in the hand, by having the.weapon drawn forcibly across his fingers. By this time the officers returned, and Sullivan hard forced his way out of the court, and ran along the Kingsland-roa4, in the direction of Shoreditch, with the drawn knife in his hand, spreading the utmost terror in his progress. He reached the Carlisle public house, but the landlord shut the door against him; and a little further on he entered the house of Mr. Hart, a Jew broker, whose door was open, and Mr. Hart and his family were so alarmed that they ran up stairs, leaving Sullivan in the lower part of the house. By this time the officers arrived before Hart's door, Shepherd,' the Bow -street patrol, got in at a first floor win • flow, but before he got down stairs, or about that time, the door had been forced froin without. Sullivan, after a desperate strug gle, in which he three er four times attempted to stab Shepherd, was secured, the knife taken from him, and he was lodged in the watch-house. Yesterday morning he was conveyed to the London Hospital, whence the following certificate was read Michael Sullivan was brought here this morning with a severe contusion on the head, which is at present dangerous, and probably will prove fatal." Upon the production of this document, the Magistrate considered Sullivan's case doubly prttearinttet " to his present el -tuation, end as to his eventually recovering, and he should com mit him under Lord Ellenborough's Act, to remain for the pre sent in the hospital, and commit the other prisoners for rioting, SS well es for theaesaults proved against thew. VNION-HA LL.—Yesterdav Joh* Ole, an engineer to one of the fire-office s , was summoned bef o re t h e Si tt i ng Magistrate, by the parish - officers of Bermandsity, fur leaving his wife and t wo children chargeable to the parish. Mr. HoHands, the overseer, proved the fact of the defendant', wife and children being chargeable to the parish of Bermondsey. The defendant, in a m e l anc h o ly tone, " Your worship, it is really a hard case that I 1/11 to be saddled with the expense of sup porting two children whom I firmly believe have stronger claims on another than, hotvever, as the saying is, whatever is to be must be, so I sup pose I must take them home. " , Th e defendant then left the office with the two children. Thomas Wilson, the man who imposed upon several indivi duals by representing that be Vi , as the bearer of intelligence from the Britannia, just arrived from India, on board of which he generally made his dupes believe that therewere presents for them, and who was committed to Brixton from this office, will be brought up ou Friday, i n or d er to give thote persona who have been defrauded by hint an opportunity of attending to prefer their charges against him. OLD. BAILEY, OCT. 30. Patrick Reilly, aged 26, and Amelia Robert♦, aged 32, were indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, jewels, and wearing apparel, and other articles, of the value of 300/. the property of Mr. Austin, of Red-lion -street, Clerken well. Mr. Baron GARROw summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty as to both prisoners. Shortly before the Judges retired, Mr. Justice Park called the attention of the Lord Mayor and Skeriffs to the noise which he had more than once to complain of as com ing from the neighbourhood of the Court. He had taken the liberty to mention this in the presence of his Lordship (the Lord Mayor) knowing that it would receive imme diate attention. - John Webberly and Cornwall were found guilty of stealing two cheeses, some butter, and thirty eggs, the property of Mr. Corry, cheesemonger, of Bishopsgate street. It appeared that the property was given to the prisoners by a lad, a servant in Mr. Corry's shop, who had been in the habit of robbing his master, and who was now the chief witness against them. John Doylt was indicted for stealing ten hempen sacks and sixteen hundred weight of wool, value M. the pro perty of Cooper and Co., public warehousemen, of Joiner street. A witness gave the prisoner a good character. The Deputy RECORDER summed up, and the Jury,after a few minutes' hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. James Morris and John Edwards were indicted for stealing a five pound note from a poor woman, named Mary Edwards. Verdict--Guilty. The prosecutrix stated that the loss would be the ruin of her. Jacob Evans, an elderly man, described as a labourer, was indicted for feloniously administering a certain quan tity of the decoction of fox-glove, on the 25th of October, to. Camp Collins, which the said Camp Collins, not know- Mg it to be a deadly poison, took, and became mortally sick, and died thereof, on the 26th of October. Mr. Whitmore, a surgeon, in Cold Bath-square, saw the deceased on the 26th; he showed symptoms of having taken vegetable narcotic poison, and some symptoms peculiar to a preparation of fox-glove. He gave the proper remedies, but the deceased died ; witness has no doubt that the fox glove caused his death. No better excuse than extrene ignorance could be offered for the act. The book which the prisoner had written was replete with mischief. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN, at this stage of the case, aftei consulting the Judges in the other Court, told the Jury, that, however they might regret it, the charge of felony could not be supported in this case, so as to convict the prisoner of manslaughter; it was rather a case of misad venture. The prisoner-must therefore be acquitted. He was accordingly found Not Guilty. Martha Byatt was indicted under the Act 8 and 9 William e ra o t ha n h r li . , for t putting a v ue othffeylrpre 2 e co s u e i i i i t t e e r d. fe it shillings at a ow Verdict—Guilty. The prisoner fell into hysterics, and was unable to stand at the bar. She was then indicted with her daughter, Eliza Ryan, for a similar offence. Both prisoners were, however, ac quitted on this indictment. Martha Byatt prayed the benefit of clergy, but a record of a former conviction in 1819 was produced, and the Jury were sworn to try whether she was the same person. They found in the affirmative. John Jarvis Tolhunt was charged with felony, for mar rying a second wife, the first being alive at the time. •John George Lee, deputy pariih clerk of St. George's, Hanover-square, produced the book of registers: turned to a page, and found that there were married Edward Jarvis Tolima and Elizabeth Whitehurst, by licence, on the 3d of July. last. Cross-examined by Mr. ANDnEws—Wiut present, but did not recollect the persons of the parties. .

Was living with Miller, the butcher, at Camden-town. Prisoner quitted her after three days, and she saw no more of him for thrie weeks. She was married by licence. Ledger, the officer, apprehended the prisoner on an as, sault-warrant in Church-passage, St. Giles's. A question was here raised upon the mode of appre hension, and the form of the indictment, which set forth that the prisoner was apprehended for the felony, which was committed in Surrey, according to the evidence, whereas he was apprehended on a charge of assault com mitted in Middlesex. The COMMON SERGEANT directed the trial to proceed upon the merits, reserving the point for consideration, namely, whether the detention which was occasioned by the apprehension for the assault was a sufficient appre hension to answer to the description in the indictment. The prisoner being called on for his defence, bean by deprecating the exaggerations and misrepresentations of his case in the newspapers. The COMMON SERGEANT told the prisoner that he did not believe that the Jury would pay any attention to the statements of newspapers againq him. Mr. ANDREWS advised him tilt to proceed with such observations, as they were not likely to do him any good. The prisoner declined making any further observations, and his Counsel called no evidence. Verdict—Gitilty. Subject to deliberation on the point reserved. The :prisoner was again charged with marrying'Eliza beth Whitehurst, Rachael Pearce, his first wife, being then living. The deputy parish-clerk of St. George's, Hanover square, produced the book of registers, and found, that on the 16th of December, 1797, a marriage was solemnized between Edward Jarvis and Rachael Pearce. John Stratton knew the pri soner , w h o c a m s f rom Horn castle, neolifshire, and worked for witness, about six years ago. He sent for his wife, whom witness under stood to be Rachael Pearce.
